Hyvää Madonna Päivää!

There's a big party in our neighborhood tonight - 100,000 extra people are here to see Madonna performing her first concert in Finland, and tickets sold out within a few hours. 85,000 are inside the new concert venue they've just built about at the end of our block, and another 15,000 are cruising the perimeter. Here is the port area before the stage was built and then after - it's about 3 stories tall so it's set back a ways. They've recently cleared out a huge shipping and container operation from this port, ahead of building a new residential area soon. It's a whole new world tonight.
